John Brennan hopes 'individuals of conscience' will block Trump's declassification order

Former CIA Director John Brennan hopes "individuals of conscience" will stymie President Trump's order to declassify Justice Department and FBI documents related to the federal Russia investigation.

"A number of individuals are trying to protect Mr. Trump and abusing their authorities and their powers, whether it be in Congress or within the executive branch," Brennan said Tuesday during an interview with MSNBC.

"And this is something that I am hoping that individuals of conscience are going to stop and prevent because I am concerned that this is just one indication that Mr. Trump is going to increasingly look for steps to take in order to further try to subvert the Mueller investigation," Brennan continued, referring to the special counsel's inquiry.

Trump on Monday ordered the DOJ, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to declassify key materials to the Russia probe, including pages from the June 2017 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant application to gather information on former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page, as well as text messages from current and former officials, including fired FBI Director James Comey.

Hopefully there is a GTMO prison cell with Mullah Brennan's name on it.

Excellent idea Brennan. Then President Trump will have legal grounds to immediately fire all your deep state brothers on the spot without going through the normal convoluted civil service process and replace them with his people that will mmediately release the documents anyway.

Ex-CIA Director John Brennan said on MSNBC, he hopes "individuals of conscience" will stymie President Trump's
order to declassify DOJ and FBI documents. "A number of govt individuals are trying to protect Mr. Trump and are
abusing their authorities and their powers, whether it be in Congress or within the executive branch."

Translated from Swamp Lingo, "This guy Trump's got the goods on us and he's gonna cook our ***es."

Brennan is a communist, and a traitor to this nation. In another day he’d be jailed and perhaps executed.

Wherein “individuals of conscience” = “my fellow conspirators who still maintain a modicum of power to prevent us all from being lined up against a brick wall and shot by federal troops.”

Look Brennan, you needle $ick cork soaker...The fact of the matter is that you gambled and you lost.

You thought that your girl was going to win, she didn’t, you all got caught doing some pretty shady $hit and now you don’t have any threats left in your bag and you are lashing out like a cornered and wounded animal.

You are going to get outed and it is going to be in such a manner and public display that you will never be allowed within five miles of government ever again, MY President, YOUR President will see to your destruction, and guess what, it won’t be personal, just business, unlike you and your band of a$$ clowns that tried to take out an elected President, you made it personal, this is just business for our President and a little necessary house cleaning.

I am going to love every minute of this...You will deserve everything that you and your cabal get.

God Bless America and God Bless President Trump!!!

>>The true may jail them. The left is panicked. They thought Trump would be gone by now.<<

All their planning from 2012 on was that hiLIARy would win. They didn’t worry about foot- and finger-prints since no one would be looking.

Reality has other plans (*MUAhahahah!!!*)
